Magnetic penetrator

Abstract

The invention provides a device having a plurality of magnets, preferably mounted at an angle relative to one another, with their south poles oriented toward a magnetic backing plate. The north poles of the magnets direct negative magnetic energy forwardly to create a magnetic field able to penetrate deeply into bodily tissue.

We claim: 
     
       1. A device for creating a penetrating magnetic field, comprising a plurality of magnets mounted in spaced relation and having south poles oriented toward a substantially rigid magnetic backing plate and north poles oriented in a forward direction to direct negative magnetic energy forwardly from the backing plate, whereby the magnets are retained in a predetermined angular relation relative to each other. 
     
     
       2. The device of claim 1 in which the device is encased in a non-magnetic material . 
     
     
       3. The device of claim 2 in which the non-magnetic material is a thermoplastic. 
     
     
       4. The device of claim 1 in which at least two magnets are mounted at an angle relative to each other of approximately 157.5°. 
     
     
       5. The device of claim 4, in which two magnets are mounted on wings of the backing plate, the wings being oriented at an angle relative to each other. 
     
     
       6. The device of claim 5, in which the wings extend from a center portion of the backing plate. 
     
     
       7. The device of claim 6, in which the wings are provided with generally orthogonal outer flanges. 
     
     
       8. The device of claim 6, in which a magnet is mounted on the center portion. 
     
     
       9. The device of claim 5, in which the angle between the axes of the magnets is approximately 45°. 
     
     
       10. The device of claim 4, having two magnets. 
     
     
       11. The device of claim 4, having three magnets. 
     
     
       12. The device of claim 1 in which the magnets are mounted to magnetic magnet holders which are mounted to the backing plate. 
     
     
       13. The device of claim 12, in which the magnets are mounted by a silicone or similar adhesive compound. 
     
     
       14. The device of claim 12, in which the magnet holders are "C" shaped in cross-section. 
     
     
       15. The device of claim 1 in which the backing plate is formed from steel. 
     
     
       16. A device for creating a penetrating magnetic field, comprising a plurality of magnets mounted in spaced relation and having south poles oriented toward a substantially rigid magnetic backing plate and north poles oriented in a forward direction, the device being encased in a non-magnetic material, whereby the magnets are retained in a predetermined angular relation relative to each other and wherein negative magnetic energy is directed forwardly from the backing plate through the non-magnetic material. 
     
     
       17. The device of claim 16 in which two magnets are mounted on wings of the backing plate, the wings being oriented at an angle relative to each other. 
     
     
       18. The device of claim 17 in which the wings extend from a centre portion of the backing plate. 
     
     
       19. The device of claim 18 in which the wings are provided with generally orthogonal outer flanges. 
     
     
       20. The device of claim 18 in which a magnet is mounted on the centre portion.
